River Walk

I LOVE living so close to the river.  It is only about a mile from our house and has a nicely paved biking/walking trail that runs along it.  We took the kids there for our "activity" after Family Home Evening a few Monday's ago.  It was a beautiful Spring day.  I love how excited they get over all the "little things"  like a new shell, a cool stick, a fun climbing tree and of course, dandelions!

Happy Birthday Max!

Max turned 1 last month.  I can't believe he's been with us for over a year now.  He is such a sweetie.  He has a great smile and isn't afraid to flash it excessively :)  He is just learning to walk and enjoys following his brothers and sister around the house.  The kids love him to death and he's the first thing they ask for in the morning!  "Where's Max?"  They can't get enought hugs and cuddles from him.    I love watching the kids interact with their baby brother.  They love and adore him so much.   I feel so blessed.

My first attempt at "cute" cupcakes.  Believe me, I've come a long way.

Getting ready to sing!

Those cupcakes look awesome, mom!

Yep.  They were good!

Opening presents!

Max's new racer!

Max is now 1!

Destin, FL April 2011

 These pictures were taken last April on a trip to Destin, FL.  I loved the sweet images I captured of the kids.  We had a wonderful time using daddy's "paternity leave" for a little getaway :)
